Talk without truth is the hollow brass talk without love is like the tinkling cymbal, and when it does not tinkle it jingles, and when it does not jingle, it jars.

More quotes by Anna Brownell Jameson
Accuracy of language is one of the bulwarks of truth.
Anna Brownell Jameson
... the primitve Christians, by laying so much stress upon a future life in contradiction to this life, and placing the lower creatures out of the pale of sympathy, and thus had the foundation for this utter disregard of animals in the light of our fellow creatures.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Fame is that which is known to exist by the echo of its footsteps through congenial minds.
Anna Brownell Jameson
If we can still love those who have made us suffer, we love them all the more.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Modesty and chastity are twins
Anna Brownell Jameson
In morals, what begins in fear usually ends in wickedness in religion, what begins in fear usually ends in fanaticism. Fear, either as a principle or a motive, is the beginning of all evil.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Satan--the impersonation of that mixture of the bestial, the malignant, the impious, and the hopeless, which constitute the fiend--the enemy of all that is human and divine.
Anna Brownell Jameson
There are no such self-deceivers as those who think they reason when they only feel.
Anna Brownell Jameson
As the presence of those we love is as a double life, so absence, in its anxious longing and sense of vacancy, is as a foretaste of death.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Conflict, which rouses up the best and highest powers in some characters, in others not only jars the whole being, but paralyzes the faculties.
Anna Brownell Jameson
It is not poverty so much as pretence that harasses a ruined man--the struggle between a proud mind and an empty purse--the keeping up a hollow show that must soon come to an end. Have the courage to appear poor, and you disarm poverty of its sharpest sting.
Anna Brownell Jameson
All government, all exercise of power, no matter in what form, which is not based in love and directed by knowledge, is a tyranny.
Anna Brownell Jameson
As the eye becomes blinded by fashion to positive deformity, so, through social conventionalism, the conscience becomes blinded to positive immorality.
Anna Brownell Jameson
A man may be as much a fool from the want of sensibility as the want of sense.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Chill penury weighs down the heart itself and though it sometimes be endured with calmness, it is but the calmness of despair.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Work in some form or other is the appointed lot of all.
Anna Brownell Jameson
A king or a prince becomes by accident a part of history. A poet or an artist becomes by nature and necessity a part of universal humanity.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Fear, either as a principle or a motive, is the beginning of all evil.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Reputation being essentially contemporaneous, is always at the mercy of the Envious and the Ignorant. But Fame, whose very birth is posthumous, and which is only known to exist by the echo of its footsteps through congenial minds, can neither be increased nor diminished by any degree of wilfulness.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Opinion has ever been stronger than law.
